Chapter 7: Milk and Cookies
"Max! We've been through this! Rule number one: no hogging the bathroom! We agreed on that a month ago." There was no response.
"Max! Come on, I'm not in the mood for this!" There was still silence.
"I'm counting to 10, if you're not out, I'm coming in!" He heard the small crash of a bottle hitting the tiled floor.
"Forget that, I'm coming in now!"
He repeatedly rammed his shoulder against the door and soon the weak hinges gave way. Max lay in a shaking heap on the cold floor. She lifted her eyes to his and his heart broke as he saw the misery that engulfed her. He walked to her and lifted her up. He carried her over to her bedroom and set her gently down on her bed. Then he went back to the bathroom to retrieve the Tryptophan bottle that she had dropped. He sat down next to her and put his arm under her neck to lift her head gently until it rested against his shoulder. He placed some of the tablets into her mouth, and she dutifully swallowed. When he moved to help her put her head back onto the pillow, she whispered.
"Let me sit like this."
So he held her wracking form and stroked her hair until eventually the seizures became uncontrollable shivers.
"How are you feeling now?"
"Better. I thought that Manticore fixed this!"
"Maybe they weren't finished with the treatment."
"I was there for a whole three months."
"It took about six months before my body became totally immune."
"So, now it's back with a vengenance!"
"Nothing a little Tryptophan can't fix, don't worry about it."
"I've lived with this my whole life, Alec. I can manage to live with it again. I was just taken by surprise today, that's all."
"You think they fixed the heat, 'cause that massage offer still holds."
"Just shut up."
"You want anything to eat?"
"Can I have some milk?"
"Sure. Can you sit up by yourself?"
She nodded and he left to get what she asked for.
He soon returned with a tall glass of warm milk and a chocolate-chip cookie. He continued to stand.
"Alec?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"For the milk and biscuit? No problem, just don't get crumbs on the sheet."
"Thank you for helping me."
"I told you that I'll look after you, Maxie. Besides, I was hardly going to leave you on the floor all vulnerable and sick, was I? Good thing that I got that Tryptophan in case of emergencies."
"What would I do without you?"
"I honestly don't know. Maybe you should get some sleep." She moved so that her head was resting on the pillow.
"Don't leave me."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Come here." and she beckoned him forward. She moved to allow him space to sit. Which he did.
"Take off your shoes."
"What?"
"Just do it." He followed the orders.
"Good. Now get inside."
"Inside your bed?"
"Yes."
"Max, as tempting as that sounds, I don't think that's such a good idea."
"I'm not telling you to take off your pants, just...hold me. Please?"
Even if he wasn't in love with her, there was no way that Alec could refuse. He got into the bed and put his arm around Max. She snuggled into his embrace.
"Alec?" her voice was drowsy.
"Hmm?"
"I think that you won't have to wait much longer."
With that, she fell asleep.
That night it was Alec who had trouble sleeping.
A/N: Another short chapter to leave your'll impatient for them to get together. I'm getting there! It won't be too long until Max and Alec are an official couple! The reason that I'm dragging this, is because I want it to be as realistic as possible. I'm always reading stories in which they sleep together by the second chapter (mostly heat-induced), and being the romantic that I am, I want them to fall in love as old-fashioned-y as possible! I don't suppose you guys would let me get away with them only sleeping with eachother on their honeymoon, would you?
OK. My 22 year old brother has just discovered this chapter and READ it. That sucks. If I valued his opinion on literature, I would take his remark of "What crap is this?" seriously. However, the fool hasn't touched a book (car magazines don't count) since he finished school, so, I'll live.
REVIEW!!!!!!I love reviews, it makes me feel appreciated. The longer the review, the happier I am!
